Monthly Pot Use Report Illuminates Washington’s Smoking Habits

Washington may be one of only two states in the country that have legalized recreational marijuana use, but – at least according to the glimpse provided by the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) -there are certainly stonier states to call home.

In a write-up for the Washington Post, Christopher Ingram breaks down the findings from the NSDUH, which uses 2011-2012 state-level statics to determine monthly drug use by age demographics. The numbers indicate that Rhode Island (of all places) had the highest percentage of monthly pot smokers over the age of 12, at 13 percent, while only 10.21 percent of Washington residents over the age of 12 got stoned on a monthly basis.
